    Why colocate with us

    Big-rack infrastructure, single-server pricing

    Your server gets the same resilient power, cooling, security and network as a full-rack deployment — without paying for space you don't need.

    From a Single 1U

    Perfect when one server is all you need. Get full data centre resilience — redundant power, cooling and connectivity — without committing to a quarter, half or full rack.

    Resilient A+B Power

    Every server receives dual power feeds from independent distribution paths, backed by N+1 parallel UPS systems and an onsite JCB standby generator — with a 100% power SLA.

    Premium Connectivity

    Your server sits on our carrier-independent AS48825 BGP network with transit from Cogent, Telia, GTT and NTT, plus direct peering at LINX and LONAP for the lowest latency routing.

    DDoS Protected as Standard

    600Gbps of always-on Corero SmartWall filtering is included free with every colocated server — attacks are detected and surgically removed in under a second.

    Precision Climate Control

    N+N Stulz precision cooling with hot-aisle containment, integrated humidifiers and grade 4 air filtration keeps your hardware in a clean, stable 20°C environment.

    Free Remote Hands

    Complimentary monthly remote assistance for routine tasks — reboots, cable checks, disk swaps and visual inspections — so you rarely need to visit the facility.

    Everything included

    One simple monthly price, no hidden extras

    Getting started

    From your office to our rack in four steps

    Onboarding is simple — most servers are racked, connected and live within one working day of arrival.

    Tell Us Your Requirements

    Let us know your server's size, power draw and bandwidth needs. We'll confirm pricing and provision your rack space, power feeds and IP allocation.

    Ship or Deliver Your Server

    Courier your server to our Cambridge facility or drop it off in person — we'll arrange a convenient delivery window and handle it with care on arrival.

    We Rack & Connect

    Our engineers rack your server, connect dual power feeds and network uplinks, label everything and verify connectivity before handover.

    Go Live

    Your server goes live behind our DDoS-protected network with 24/7 monitoring. Manage it remotely with full administrative control from day one.
